Lucretia felt relieved that what she was worried about was not the thing Matteo came for, she took a deep breath gazing into Matteo's eyes with a serious expression "I would have preferred if you heard my story before making assumptions, although I did suggest it to her I still gave her the option to choose if she wants to or not" Lucretia point one finger as she gave her first reason and when she continued she raised another finger, "Secondly I only trained the girl as per her own request since she wanted to become someone worthy. The deal was for her to support you, whether she chooses to pursue you or her old love is her choice not mine"

"You should know that I am serious with the girls, so could you retract that annoying order" Matteo muttered rubbing his forehead realizing that he will get nowhere if he continues to talk about this and instead chose to ask to end it immediately, "I can, but whether she will accept the order or not will depend on herself," Lucretia answered with a sly smile, Matteo knew this woman set up the mission on purpose as she knew Aurora will feel obligated to return the favour and perform to the best of her abilities which is probably why she is so persistent in chasing him.

"Why are you so persistent in getting in my life right at the moment we met?" Matteo glanced at Lucretia who felt a warning bell goes off that if this conversation carries on he might discover it, it was as if a wonder God heard her prayer when Matteo's phone vibrated when he took it out and answered he heard his father's frantic voice "Matteo! Get back to Milan this instant! Erica and Aurora are wrecking the street in a fight!" Hearing this Matteo stood up vigorously, he glanced at Lucretia "I will be back to continue this talk later..."

Matteo teleported the instant he heard a familiar chant entering his ears, "Arges, Steropes, Brontes! Lend my sword the blessing of Thunder!" Suddenly clouds began to gather above Erica as lightning struck down towards her sword but the excess lightning spread out hitting multiple places, Matteo who saw this felt like Armegaddon just arrived "What the hell are these girls doing!? Their acting like a Campione!"

Matteo points his palm towards the battlefield as he chants an incantation of his spellbook, "Manifest, ye the harbinger of insatiable hunger. Open your mouth and swallow the attacks of my enemies, Gluttony" Suddenly the lightning around Erica disappeared without a trace alerting both Erica and Aurora of Matteo's presence, seeing that his face was incredibly dark the two of them knew he was not pleased with this. "For now I want you girls to go home and reflect, also Aurora I spoke with Lucretia, your mission to pursue me was not an official one and only a suggestion. Once again I will say that you should be true to your heart. I hate half-hearted relationships, I don't mind us remaining friends"

Aurora's eyes widen as she did not expect for Matteo to say this, she done everything because she did find a liking to him although most of it stems off from her feelings of gratitude to Lucretia. Matteo sighed "There is someone who had been waiting for a while now for your return unless that other girl who is appearing with your identity did something to you" Hearing this Aurora shook before staring at Matteo with shock, 'How, even Lucretia did not know of my true identity. I made sure the body double is perfect!' Aurora thought but she never thought that Lucretia was only being kind not to mention this.

Matteo was different, he was serious with Erica and Liliana. He would consider answering the feelings of others but he will be extra serious in determining it before he agrees. "Erica take Aurora and go" Erica nodded at Matteo's order taking the still shocked Aurora to the Blandelli Manor, Matteo worked together with his father to deal with the aftermath which included manipulating the memories of a large number of people which would have been a hassle to handle if it was not for Matteo and his spellbook.

Meanwhile, Aurora called the number she remembers is Lucretia's cellphone number, "Ah, Aurora you finally called me after so long" hearing Lucretia's voice she knew that Lucretia already knew the reason she called, "Sorry I failed" Lucretia giggled "You never had a mission to begin with Aurora, you take everything too seriously so this was a good lesson in life for you, I made use of you to determine how serious Matteo was about the two girls while also teaching you how to think for yourself."

Aurora took a breath while Lucretia continued, "You always listened to the letter during my training but never once you thought of doing something different when I give a suggestion you will take it as a order instead. Do you understand now?" Aurora nodded "Y-Yes" Lucretia sighed, "I am not disappointed you know, I am proud you actually managed to get this far. So from now on pursue your heart okay?" Aurora nodded as she finally began to sob, it was both in pain and happiness she could help but cry without being able to determine if she was happy or sad maybe both.

Matteo himself was currently laying on the roof of the manor gazing at the stars, he was not certain how to face the girls who acted because of their care for him but at the same time, they caused trouble for the innocents. Matteo sighed while a wry smile formed on his lips thinking of his two angels, "M-Matty? It's cold outside, you should come in" Liliana called from the open window, Matteo did not stand up immediately till another one called "Matty I'm sorry for today's incident"

Matteo stood up as he jumps from the roof grabbing the edge at the last moment to swing himself towards the window while clinging onto the edge like a Romeo, Matteo smirked "You never been wrong Erica, but since you need a punishment you will be my warm bottle for the night" Hearing Matteo's light punishment Erica blushed a bit while Liliana pouted "Your included Lilly, for not stopping Erica" Liliana who heard Matteo's addon caused her to blush beet red before turning around, the night was peaceful after an intense activity.

The next morning Matteo noticed that Aurora was now dressed more properly like a rich princess, no longer wearing revealing clothes to seduce him which made him feel relieved that she found her path "I will still be acting as your assistant and support, but I would like to apologize for my improper acts in the past" Aurora spoke while bowing towards Matteo politely, Matteo nodded "No need to worry about the past, but dealing with Bruno will be your own responsibility" Hearing Matteo's order Aurora smiled brightly as she nodded, "Yes!"

Later when Matteo came to school with only Erica and Liliana made the boys feel happy to see that the Demon King was losing his prowess to woo women since Aurora arrived in the school much earlier when Matteo pushed open the classroom door he noticed Bruno was a bit pale from the boys glaring at him and Aurora smiling brightly while holding his arm. 'Heh, welcome to the club, my dear friend. You better get used to this' Matteo thought

The moment Matteo entered the classroom the glaring ended swiftly as none of the boys would try their luck with the Demon King present, taking his seat Bruno came swiftly to him while Aurora went over to chat with Erica and Liliana. "Matt! You dare hide her from me! I can't believe you kept my first love hidden from me while she trained in your company" Hearing Bruno's words Matteo tilt to the left seeing Aurora giving him a smile causing him to realize this woman used him.

"Well, since she promised you to train hard to be your equal I can only accept it. She cared a lot for you after all" Matteo answered, Bruno, caress his chin but Matteo answered him with a lewd smile "you can demand babies appropriate to each year you missed her" Hearing this Bruno almost fell off his chair while Aurora blushed beet red with Matteo and the two girls laughing 'You dare use me, don't forget I will get you back for it soon' Matteo Thought

Bruno coughed a bit before looking away embarrassed by what his best friend just told him, 'Babies!? I haven't kissed her yet!' He thought while feeling wronged by his friend, "You better teach your friend some flirting and relationship skills since I have levelled up" Hearing this Matteo chuckled at his friend and the two of them continued to chat.

"I see you chose a different path from what I expected of you" Erica muttered while her eyes were locked onto Matteo who was laughing while chatting with Bruno, Aurora nodded "Since I mistook my teacher's suggestion as an order it was a mistake, luckily I did not do anything I might regret so it's not too late to chase my real target" Erica nodded at Aurora's words, "Good choice, since Matteo's number one wife is me" Liliana only snorted when she heard Erica's proclamation, but she herself did not care for hierarchy since Matteo treated her the same as he does with Erica.

A young lady in her late teens with pale skin, sleek black hair, a slender body with a full bosom wearing traditional Chinese clothes from the Han dynasty was currently sitting on her throne while sipping on a glass of wine looking at the young man dogeza in front of her while reporting that a Campione of Italy will be arriving in China in a week's time. "Is it Salvatore or Voban?" The lady asked the man

The man shivered a bit before answering, "Neither them, there is a hidden Campione" Hearing this the woman was naturally intrigued by this, "Hidden, why hidden? Most Campione would announce their existences without fear for the daylight!" The lady muttered from personal experience since she was a Campione herself.

But the man shook his head "He is different, unlike the Muscle Head Salvatore and the Cunning Voban this Campione prefers to remain low key and only appear high-key at missions he was assigned to... His existence was only discovered when he fought Voban when he was six years old, if he did not have to confront Voban then we would not necessarily have been able to discover his existence"

"Campione at the age of Six? How bizarre" The lady muttered while the man thought 'You Campione's are all bizarre to me' He thought but the lady glared at him, "You thought something incredibly rude did you not" The man shook "No your excellency, this little one would not dare insult your beyond perfection figure that could make even the seven hells become paradise just from your presence alone!"

The lady nodded but she was still surprised, "Investigate this boy, I want to know when he became a Campione..." As she thought 'Campione at the age of six and the youngest one ever... I will have to meet him myself' Suddenly she continued with her command "Also have him come to present himself to this empress, but he must be blindfolded for he must not be allowed to sully my body and he must wear a gas mask for he should not pollute the air I breathe and also wear noise-cancelling headsets"

The man timidly raised his hand, The lady looked at him "What is it?" the man coughed "Your excellency if he were to be blindfolded he will trip if he were to wear that headset how can he converse with you" The lady felt enlightened as she nodded with an understanding gaze, "I see, then cover his head with a black bag instead"
